Questions about comparing options
Is a payment plan or an offer better?
For most people, a payment plan. It is open to far more people. An offer only fits when the IRS agrees it can't collect more than you offer.
What is the difference between a lien and a levy?
A lien is a legal claim on your property. A levy is the IRS actually taking money or property.
